It could use a hint of chlorine.

I know that feeling.  Sometimes it's nice to be far away from family. 

yes it could!

tonight for sure!

So, so true.  I've got nearly everyone I know loving the stuff now.

Oh grappa...just thinking about it makes my stomach burn. 

let me know what you find - I've never had it either

So Kristen,

tell us more about your trip

Let's see. I drank a lot of wine. I ate a lot of food. Mmmm. That's probably the Cliff Notes version.

sounds like fun - don't worry - we won't ask you if you had any cheesecake

enders_shadow - 2008-07-16 1:18 PM Here's a recipe I found on line that sounds about right: 7 Lemon 1 L Grain alcohol 1 L Water 700 gr Sugar Mixing instructions: Soak skin of 7 lemons in alcohol for 2 days. Strain. Boil water and sugar and chill. Mix with alcohol. Store in the fridge. Pretty much lemonade hopped up on grain alcohol.

Actually, this recipe sounds much better...and more like the one at the winery... http://www.slowtrav.com/italy/notes/food/dh_limoncello.htm

I vote you make some and I will help you drink it.   

We have a friend who loves grappa and always brings a bottle on our yearly ski trips.  He and Andy are the only ones who can drink it.

I first had the limoncello pleasure in Italy, on the Isle of Capri.  We were walking down one of the hills and some old lady was selling her homemade blend.  Amazing!  I was only 17 at the time actually, and I blame her for my love of liquers.  Mmmm... Amaretto or Grand Marnier.

Hithced a free trip up to Boston last summer with my parents.  We stumbled onto the St. Agrippina parade in the North End.  Sat in a bar with a big picture window, watched the parade, and got all warmed up on Limoncello.  It's always a wonderful time with the stuff.

Yeah...finally got the last question.  It's from my adviser and I feel like it's the hardest one.  He made up for it by giving me "extra time" and said I could turn it in before the weekend.  Except that I have to turn it in by Friday morning so we can leave.  I'm frustrated with him.

See you all later.  Back to the grind.

Good luck!

I had a VERY intimidating adviser in grad school.  In fact, he was kind of a jacka$$ , and his heavy German accent didn't do anything to smooth that fact over.  It was also kind of weird that my dad was this guy's GA when he was college.  He turned out to be really cool the last few weeks though.  Tough no doubt, but respectful of the effort and quite congrulatory when it was all said in done.  So, with the work you're putting in, I'm expecting much the same.  You'll do fantastic!
